Users
Overview
On the Users training page, you can add users for training, edit users, delete users, set due date, send email to users, and view the training progress of users.
In Empower 8.5, the following rules now apply for adding users and user groups to training groups:
- Adding a user to a user group will add them to all trainings that the user group is assigned to.
- Removing a user from a user group will also remove that user from all trainings assigned to that user group. Removed users will no longer be added to recurring trainings assigned to these user groups.
- In Empower 8.4, users who were indvidually added to a training for one revision would not be added to the training for the next revision. In Empower 8.5, when adding users to a training for a revision, they will be automaticlaly added to future revision trainings as well. As part of this process, these individual users will be added to the user group for the training event.
